  5. Natalie: More time is a good one. There is never enough time to do all that I want and need to do.

    M: Touch would be very, very difficult to live without.One of my reporters just finished a story on someone who cannot feel. Actually, my staff did a series of stories about people who are missing a sense. It was an amazing project to work with them on. It will run four consecutive Sundays, beginning June 27. That's the plan, anyway. You should read these stories on our website when they are posted. My team did an outstanding job on this project. I'm so proud of them.

    Marcy: There is no way I would EVER eat a steamed clam. I just can't do it. And I love garlic, too, although sometimes my stomach doesn't.
